Table 2 reveals that almost 80% of the prospective biology teachers picked wrong answer choices for 2 out of 14 questions (question 5 and 9). In addition, almost 70% of the teachers picked wrong answer choices for 3 out of 14 questions (question 3, 7 and 8). And almost 50% of the teachers picked wrong answer choices for 1 out of 14 questions (question 1).
